Explore South Loop

A dynamic mix of history and innovation, Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood has flourished from a once booming commercial sector into one of the city’s hottest residential areas. Much of the area’s eastern edge encompassed by the Museum Campus, home to an impressive collection of cultural institutions including the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Adler Planetarium. Sitting along the scenic lakefront, the parkland area located around the Campus is an extension of another one of the South Loop’s amazing spaces—Grant Park. Known as “Chicago’s front yard” locally, Grant Park boasts 319 acres of green space and is host to many of the city’s festivals such as the Taste of Chicago, Chicago Blues Fest, and Lollapalooza. Perfect for nature lovers and avid sports fans alike, the South Loop is also home to Northerly Island and Soldier Field. The South Loop offers a variety of dining and entertainment options, and is the location of notable Chicago restaurants including Acadia, Niu B Sushi, Eleven City Diner, and so much more.
